I agree with a lot of what you're saying, too. E.g. I think your insight into Google's main challenges being design problems and the "Innovator's Dilemma"-type of problems that Google has now are very significant. Personally, I would have preferred Google to have gone in a different direction, pushing more open protocols and standards, letting the Web bloom entire rain forests and sorting through those jungles for the rest of us. Creating yet another silo seems like "now you have three problems". But I don't really see how Facebook's any better off. I sort of see now that you were just responding to Page's sentiments, it seemed a bit one-sided.
